One could say it was in the cards for Harry Keyworth to become a musician. His mother, who guided local gypsies and gentry with her psychic and tarot reading abilities also guided Harry with an introduction to the music of Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. It was in a strange twist of fate that Denny Cordell (producer of Tom Petty, JJ Cale, The Cranberries, etc.) heard Harry playing guitar on a family holiday in Ireland and urged his mother to buy him his first cassette tapes of these influential artists.His father, a carpenter by trade, was also a musician in a rock band from the 70’s and constantly played guitar in front of Harry. Naturally, Harry wouldn’t leave his dad’sguitar alone and from the age of 6 began learning the 12-bar blues and his first chords from his dad. Early influencesemerged through his dad including the music of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Growing up in West Wales, Harry would sneak off as a teenager into the local stables for a snooze instead of venturing off to school. Knowing that music was his passion, he focused all his time on guitar, eventually earning him a scholarship to college. Harry’s first formal guitar lessons and recordings of his songs came while at college where his jazz teacher would slip him CD’s of John Martyn, Adem, Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake all becoming quiet influences.
Keyworth has a raw energy with a rhythm based percussive feel creating drumbeats with nothing beyond hisguitar. His vocal style tends to be soft, often singing falsetto with a voice that could melt a heart of stone. Harryexperiments with many different tunings and sounds tied with his fast finger work from his electric guitar dayscreating a rich warm sound with few components; investing in the sound of the instruments rather than adding morelayers. His technique is often described in publications as a ‘virtuoso slap guitar technique’.Keyworth’s first EP, Flux (2013) landed on BBC's record of the week and received extensive airplay includingBBC 1 and 6 along with other UK national playlists and has received over a million streams. He also performedalongside Adam Ant andSqueeze's Tilbrook and Difford, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Old Grey WhistleTest hosted by the TV show's original presenter 'Whispering' Bob Harris. Harry’s second EP, Fine Line (2015) caughtthe attention of a wider international audience bringing him to Korea, Germany and America where he recentlymixed his 3rd EP, Above My Head with producer/mixer, Justin Stanley (Beck, Eric Clapton, Sheryl Crow, Mark Ronson, Prince, Nikka Costa).
